Reader Request: Essie Fall 2008 Comparisons

Sorry, Diann_co! I didn't forget about you, I promise! I had assumed it would be very easy to find matches for all these colors, but I was wrong. After comparing lots of colors, I think I've found some suitable dupes. I don't think I've been able to find any exact matches, though!



Thumb: OPI All That Razz-Berry
Index to pinkie: Essie Big Spender, OPI It's Toe-Tally Summer!, China Glaze Designer Satin, Essie Pool Boy.
As you can tell, none of these are exact matches, but they're pretty close.


Thumb to pinkie: Essie Forever Young, Essie Pepperoni, Essie E! Love From The Red Carpet, Essie Jelly Apple, Misa Hand Spin Silk.
I think the best match here might be Pepperoni. I apologize for the blurriness- I didn't realize that I had smudged my lens until after I had taken the picture!


Thumb to pinkie: Essie Lacy Not Racy, China Glaze Patent Leather, Essie Macks, Rescue Beauty Lounge Killa Red, Essie UP'S
The best match here is definitely Killa Red, but it's missing that slight purple tinge that Lacy Not Racy has.


Thumb to pinkie: Essie Tomboy No More, China Glaze Gypsy Girl, OPI Kangarooby, OPI Malaga Wine, Color Club Feverish
It seems like Malaga Wine and Gypsy Girl are tied for best match here, but still not exact.

I'm still looking for matches to the other two colors in the fall collection, but I really don't own too many colors similar to those.

Again, I apologize for the poor quality of these swatches. I promise never to (accidentally) touch my camera lens again!
